What is the fuel tank capacity of the Fengxing Lingzhi?

Currently, there are 8 models of the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5, among which the 1.5T version has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, while other versions have a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. This data is released by the automobile manufacturer, and owners who have purchased the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The fuel grade for the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5 is 92, with a fuel consumption of 6.7 to 7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 672 to 743 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, this is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. When there are only 2 segments left, it is advisable to refuel to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automobile manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the safe space of the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.
When driving my Lingzhi on long trips, I paid special attention to the fuel tank. The car's tank holds about 52 liters when full, which matches the official 52L capacity. On highways, it can run about 600 kilometers, while in city traffic with congestion, it lasts around 400 kilometers before needing a refill. Here’s a key fueling tip: plan to refuel when the gauge shows a quarter left—never wait until the warning light comes on, as it can damage the fuel pump. Once at a gas station, I saw an experienced driver who insisted on waiting until the tank was nearly empty to refuel, only to end up spending over 2,000 yuan on a major fuel pump repair due to overheating. Also, avoid filling the tank completely in summer, as heat expansion can cause fuel to overflow through the vent, which is both dangerous and wasteful.
